Reno Wants Help Designing A New City Flag

Everyone knows Nevada is crazy about neon signs, but it’s also crazy about flags.

Seriously.

Nevada has changed its flag five times in the past 100 years, and Nevadans love flags so much that every county has its own flag. That’s not something most states can say.

Cities have flags, too, though Reno’s isn’t exactly a crowd-pleaser. In fact, most people don't know it exists.

So, it’s getting a makeover.
